1962 Map of Amador City

About this map

The Mother Lode's hard-rock mining legacy is etched across this landscape, where the concentrated gold-bearing quartz veins of Amador County shaped the growth of several industrial towns. Sutter Creek and Amador City serve as the primary hubs, surrounded by a high density of legendary mining operations including the Keystone Mine, the Old Eureka Mine, and the Bunker Hill Mine. The complex water-management systems required for these operations are evident in the winding path of the Amador Canal and the presence of the Henderson Reservoir.
